PERSONA GUIDE
Merch in the agency account manager’s hands
The account manager orders in the client’s name — deadline, white-label handling and press pack discipline are everything.
The role in its setting
Agencies usually demand white-label supply: goods arrive in the client’s name with no supplier branding anywhere. Most Hungarian B2B merchandise projects start from a written brief, and teams that fix product, quantity and deadline data early avoid most re-quote cycles.
EU-funded programmes need procurement documentation that survives an audit years later, so traceability is part of the deliverable, not an optional extra. The press kit — bottle, notebook, pen and a short printed backgrounder — budgets at 3,000-8,000 HUF + VAT.
Product range
Deadlines are contractual: a late merch line can stall the whole campaign, so plan two backup items. Welcome packs most often combine a mug, a bottle and a notebook in the 8,000-18,000 HUF band before VAT.
Umbrellas, power banks and wireless chargers sit in the premium client-gift tier, where CE documentation is mandatory. Packaging is part of the gift: a branded box lifts the hand-over moment but adds a real cost line of its own.
Budget and timing
The client welcome box is the agency’s own credibility gift and deserves premium execution. A composed welcome pack lands between 8,000 and 18,000 HUF + VAT depending on contents and packaging.
Standard lead time is four to six weeks after proof approval; ready-stock ships within one to two weeks. Invoicing can be issued in HUF, EUR or USD; payment terms follow the contract, not the delivery note.
Logistics
Agencies price fixed project fees or hourly rates, with merch invoiced transparently as a subcontract line. Office deliveries should carry the company name, the floor and the recipient on the label — building security often checks all three.
Finalise the recipient list only after proof approval, because a changed list ripples back into the packing plan. Label cartons strictly per client when several accounts ship in one wave — a wrong label is the most expensive small mistake.
